Congratulations to students and staff of Salmon River JSD 243. According to Idaho Ed News, Idaho’s top-performing district on the SAT is Salmon River. “It was one of the state’s smallest districts: Salmon River, a four-day district based in Riggins, with an enrollment of barely 100 students. The school’s average SAT score was 1,123.”

The Salmon River School District Board of Trustees would like to invite friends and patrons of the school district to a “Special Board Meeting” to discuss the topic of school district staff members carrying canceled weapons on school grounds during school hours and functions. Jim Georges the Undersheriff from the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office will be at the meeting as well. The meeting will be Monday June 6th in the secondary school’s multipurpose room at 6 P.M. Please help us spread the word by letting your friends and acquaintances know about the meeting.

Salmon River track athletes represented well at the 1A District Championships in New Plymouth. Congrats to all competitors, especially our numerous state qualifiers. Nine Savage athletes will compete in Middleton on Friday and Saturday for State Championships. Go Savages!

To better communicate to the community of Riggins and our patrons the Board of Trustees has given the School District permission to pursue the possible replacement of the current reader board on high way 95 with a new electronic reader board at the same location. At this time, we are looking for support to cover the $10,000 dollars needed for this project. If you are or if you know of someone who would be interested in donating to help us cover the cost of replacing our reader board you can contact Michelle Hollon at the district office. 630-6025 or 630-6027
